Meta & Head
7.6/25
Title, description, canonical, social tags — what search engines read first.
Title taghigh impactlow effort
No <title> tag found
The title tag is the headline searchers see in results and one of the strongest on-page ranking signals — without one, search engines invent their own, often badly. Add a <title> of 30–60 characters inside <head> that leads with the page's primary keyword, e.g. "Free SEO Audit Tool – Check Any Website | YourBrand". Write a unique title for every page rather than duplicating one sitewide, and don't stuff it with a comma-separated keyword list — that reads as spam to users and engines alike.
Meta descriptionhigh impactlow effort
No meta description found
The meta description is your ad copy in search results; without one, engines pull an arbitrary snippet from the page, which usually reads poorly and costs you clicks. Add <meta name="description" content="..."> with 70–160 characters that summarize the page and give a concrete reason to click — what the visitor gets plus a differentiator (free, instant, no signup). Write a unique description per page: one duplicated across the site is treated much like a missing one.
Page allows indexinghigh impactlow effort
<meta name="robots" content="noindex,noarchive,nofollow">
This page tells search engines not to index it, so it can never rank — every other optimization is wasted while this tag is present. If that's unintentional, remove the noindex directive (or the whole robots meta tag) and request re-indexing in Google Search Console. A common pitfall: staging noindex tags shipped to production during a launch.
Open Graph tagsmedium impactlow effort
No Open Graph tags found
Open Graph tags control how your page looks when shared on Facebook, LinkedIn, Slack, WhatsApp, and most chat apps; without them, links render as a bare URL or with guessed text, and far fewer people click through. Add four meta tags to <head>: og:title, og:description, og:url, and og:image — an image around 1200x630 pixels works well across platforms. Use absolute https:// URLs for og:image and og:url; relative paths are the most common reason preview images silently fail to appear.
Canonical URLmedium impactlow effort
No <link rel="canonical"> found
When the same page is reachable at several URLs — tracking parameters, trailing-slash variants, http vs https — search engines may split ranking signals across the duplicates. A canonical tag names the one version that should get all the credit. Add <link rel="canonical" href="https://www.example.com/page/"> to the <head>, pointing at the page's preferred absolute URL. Double-check it's self-referencing on the primary version: a canonical that points at the wrong page can quietly de-index the right one.
Twitter card taglow impactlow effort
No twitter:card meta tag found
X (Twitter) layers its own card markup on top of Open Graph, and without a twitter:card tag your shared links may render as plain text instead of a large image preview. Add <meta name="twitter:card" content="summary_large_image"> alongside your Open Graph tags; X will fill in the title, description, and picture from og:title, og:description, and og:image. Keep og:image an absolute URL — a relative or missing image is the usual reason cards show up without a picture.

Content & Structure
10.7/25
Headings, copy depth, images, structured data, internal linking.
Word counthigh impactlow effort
119 words of visible text
Under 300 words, search engines typically classify a page as thin content, and thin pages rarely rank for anything competitive. Decide which query this page should answer, then write substantive copy — aim for 600+ words covering what it is, how it works, common questions, and concrete examples. If the page genuinely has nothing more to say, merge it into a stronger related page with a 301 redirect rather than padding it with filler that helps no one.
Internal linkingmedium impactmedium effort
0 internal, 0 external links
Search engines discover and rank your pages by following internal links; a page with none is a dead end for crawlers and visitors alike. Add contextual links to related pages on your own site — navigation, related-content sections, and in-body links all count. Aim for at least a handful of relevant internal links per page.
Single H1 headinghigh impactlow effort
2 h1 headings found: "This domain is for sale", "This domain is for sale"
Multiple h1s split the page's main-topic signal, leaving search engines to guess which headline actually defines the page. Keep the one h1 that best states the primary topic and demote the rest to h2 or h3, so the outline reads as a single subject with subtopics. A frequent culprit is a site logo or blog title wrapped in an h1 inside the shared header template — change that to a <div> or <p> and reserve h1 for the page's own content.
Structured data (JSON-LD)medium impactmedium effort
No JSON-LD structured data blocks found
Structured data makes your listing eligible for rich results — star ratings, FAQs, breadcrumbs, product prices — which occupy more space on the results page and draw more clicks than plain blue links. Add a <script type="application/ld+json"> block with a schema.org type that matches the page: Organization or WebSite for a homepage, Article for posts, Product for product pages. Only mark up content actually visible on the page — markup for invisible content violates Google's guidelines and can earn a manual action.
Heading hierarchylow impactlow effort
Heading level jumps from h1 ("This domain is for sale") to h3 ("Contact the Owner")
Headings form the page's outline; when levels jump (h2 straight to h4), search engines and screen readers get a broken table of contents and the relationship between sections turns ambiguous. Fix the jump by stepping down one level at a time — promote the deeper heading, or add the missing intermediate level. The usual cause is choosing heading tags for their default font size; set sizes in CSS instead and let the tags reflect actual document structure.

Technical
20.5/25
HTTPS, redirects, robots, sitemap, speed, crawlability.
XML sitemap availablemedium impactlow effort
sitemap.xml exists but is not valid XML
Your sitemap exists but isn't valid XML, so search engines reject the whole file and you get none of its discovery benefit — worse than having no sitemap, because you probably believe it's working. Regenerate it with your framework's built-in generator or a sitemap library rather than hand-editing; unescaped ampersands in URLs (& instead of &) are the most common breakage. Validate before deploying, and check the Sitemaps report in Google Search Console afterwards — it surfaces parse errors explicitly.
HTTP redirects to HTTPSmedium impactlow effort
http:// version serves content without redirecting
Your http:// URLs serve content instead of redirecting, so search engines can crawl and index two parallel copies of every page and split ranking signals between them. Add a permanent 301 redirect from http to https at the server or CDN level — in nginx, "return 301 https://$host$request_uri;" in the port-80 server block; in Apache, a RewriteRule in .htaccess; on Cloudflare, enable "Always Use HTTPS". Use a 301, not a 302 — temporary redirects don't consolidate ranking signals — and preserve the full path in the redirect target.
Response compression enabledlow impactlow effort
no content-encoding header
This HTML is served uncompressed, so every visitor downloads far more bytes than necessary — text compresses extremely well, and the savings directly speed up first render on slow connections. Enable Brotli or gzip on your server or CDN: in nginx it's "gzip on;" (or the brotli module), in Apache it's mod_deflate via .htaccess, and on most CDNs it's a single toggle. Make sure compression covers all text types (HTML, CSS, JS, JSON, SVG), but skip already-compressed images — recompressing them wastes CPU for no gain.
Missing pages return 404low impactlow effort
missing paths return a non-404 status (soft 404)
URLs that don't exist on your site return a success status instead of 404 — search engines call these soft 404s, keep recrawling them, and may index the useless placeholder pages, wasting crawl budget that should go to real content. Configure your server or framework to return an actual 404 status (or 410 for permanently removed content) along with your error page. The classic mistake is serving a friendly "page not found" template with a 200 status — crawlers ignore the visible message; only the status code counts.
